Imports/exports; change of ownership; volume and price, changes

Statistics Netherlands collects monthly data on imports and exports of goods. In this table on imports and exports of goods the change of ownership of the goods is decisive, not whether they crossed the Dutch border. The table comprises index figures and changes in terms of percentage of total imports and exports of goods, broken down by value, price and volume. The indices are based on 2021=100. The changes in terms of percentage are compared with the same period in the previous year.

Data available from: 1995 January

Status of the figures: Data from 1995 up to and including 2021 are final. Data over 2022, 2023 and 2024 are provisional.

Changes as of August 14th 2024: Data over June 2024 and the second quarter of 2024 have been added. Data over March up to and including May 2024 have been adjusted.

Statistics Netherlands has carried out a revision of the national accounts. The Dutch national accounts are recently revised. New statistical sources, methods and concepts are implemented in the national accounts, in order to align the picture of the Dutch economy with all underlying source data and international guidelines for the compilation of the national accounts. This table contains revised data. For further information see section 3.

Import and export figures may be adjusted as new or updated source information from the monthly international trade statistics and producer prices becomes available. In addition, the figures are adjusted retrospectively to fit those of imports and exports of goods in the quarterly National Accounts and the annual National Accounts. A complete revision of the National Accounts is carried out once every five years.

When will new figures be published? Six to seven weeks after the end of the month under review.
